Theoretical Foundations of Corporeal Resurrection in Mulla Sadra
Abstract
There seems to be no disagreement among different thinkers concerning the very concept of resurrection; however, there are some discussions on its quality. Three views exist in this regard:1. Resurrection is only corporeal;2. Resurrection is only spiritual;3. Resurrection is both corporeal and spiritual.From among these three views, Mulla Sadra agrees with the third one. However, some believe that what he has demonstrated in this regard is not equal to Qur'anic resurrection. The writer of this paper, through a review of Mulla Sadra's words, has tried to prove that this philosopher's view of resurrection is a Qur'anic one, and that, to prove their theory, it is necessary for Mulla Sadra's opponents to deny the Hereafter and the cause-effect relation and final order of the world.
